Provost Hall wings it to raise charity cash

She took to the skies on top of a biplane at Strathaven Airfield

Renfrewshire’s daredevil Provost reached new heights yesterday ... by taking part in a wing-walk for charity.

Anne Hall was joined by 17 other brave volunteers for the white-knuckle ride in aid of armed forces charity Help for Heroes.

They were strapped into a special seat on top of a biplane at Strathaven Airfield and then took to the skies.

And, after coming back down to earth, Provost Hall said the stunt was an experience she’ll remember for a long time.

She told the Paisley Daily Express: “The bravery of our servicemen and women always strikes a chord with me and it was great to have been joined by 17 other people who want to help me raise awareness of Help for Heroes.

“I wanted to do something a little bit different – and taking part in a wing-walk is ideal as it’s so extraordinary.

“As we begin commemorating World War One this year, it’s vital that we continue to reflect not only on the past but on our present and future too.

“We started the wing-walk mission to raise awareness of Help for Heroes but many people have generously donated money while we’ve been preparing for this event.

“So far, over £5,000 has been donated, which is wonderful.”

Joining Provost Hall was council worker Stephanie Bain, who decided to do the wing-walk despite never having flown before, and trim Karen Anderson, who lost over two stones to take part.
